As the final chapter of the regular season of the China First Division League quietly came to a close, the focus instantly shifted to the controversial verdict of a striker. That striker, Bugla Khan, was fined 70,000 RMB by the Chinese Football Association (CFA) for allegedly clashing with an opposing star during the crucial round of matches. The FA's reasons for the penalty included Bugla Khan's alleged violent and spiteful behavior. However, Bugla Khan vehemently denied this and after accepting the penalty notice, he publicly claimed that he did not commit any violent behavior or spit on the opponent, but instead suffered a saliva attack from the opponent. He emphasized that he was not witnessed committing violence at the scene (although he admitted to having a bullish temper), and as for the spitting incident, both players wiped their faces, making it difficult to determine the truth.
While the news of Bugra Khan's seven-match suspension is generating a lot of buzz, Guangzhou's other scorer, Parman Jiang, has suffered an even more serious blow. Tied with Bugrakhan for the top spot on the scoring charts and also the assists title, Parmanjiang was seriously injured while participating in the Atushi Cup, a traditional soccer tournament in Xinjiang. After the match, photos of Parmanjiang's fractured calf circulated on the internet, and although no official confirmation has been made, Guangzhou's leading media mogul has confirmed the news on social media.
In response to the fracture situation of Parmanjiang, the general opinion is that he needs a long treatment and rehabilitation process. This undoubtedly means that Guangzhou will face the dilemma of missing double arrows for the team in the early part of the next season.
